are like those of female privatus, while in the female they are smoky throughout, 
darker outwardly, with the exterior line and discal spot obscured. The black 
markings of primaries are heavier and more diffuse throughout, and the s. t. line 
is practically eliminated, the black shade which precedes the line in privatus con- 
tinuing into and sometimes filling the terminal space.

The structure of the genitalia in this genus so far as I have 
studied them, gives little help in the separation of the species. 
The harpes are very strong, highly chitinized, somewhat twisted 
and asymmetrical. As a result no two mounts lie in exactly 
the same plane and no two figures are entirely alike. There is, 
however, a somewhat marked difference in the width of the harpes 
as between teltowa and privatus, and a difference in outline which 
is especially marked in the right harpe as seen in the picture. 
Several specimens of privatus were studied, but only one of teltowa, 
and the figure given of privatus is like all the specimens of that 
form examined. Aftristrigatus was not studied for lack of suffi- 
cient material. 
Anytus tenuilinea Smith, was described from a single female 
sent in by Mr. Spalding of Stockton, Utah, and derives its name 
from the slender transverse lines and other markings. Other 
differences exist and are pointed out in the original description; 
but the creamy gray base and very narrow maculation are suffi- 
cient for its ready recognition. The interesting point is that 
I find in the material received from Cohasset, Mass., through 
Mr. Bryant, an almost exact duplicate of the type, also a 
female, under date of September 6. There were a dozen 
examples, representing both teltowa and privatus, but only this 
one female stood out from all the rest as tenwilinea. 
In 1900 I described, in the Canadian Entomologist XXXII, 
p- 218, Anytus obscurus from a single Calgary male sent in by Mr. 
Dod, and Anytus profundus, from two Brandon, Man., males, 
sent in by Mr. Hanham. These species seemed to me distinct from 
the eastern privatus and from each other, though I realized that 
my material was scant. More material came in later, from the 
type and other localities, and I became distinctly doubtful of the 
validity of the separation. Sir George F. Hampson kept the
